Today we had a medical clinic in a small town. We treated some people with great names- Johnny American was my favorite, followed by Kenlove. Every other woman here seems to be named Marie, so much so that they go by their middle name often..
At night we went to a Christian school which is supported by the Pierre’s Children Heritage Foundation (www.childrenheritage.org). The children waited for us for over an hour in a dark room. When we got there, they had a special assembly to thank the
Pierres. Jose made a great speech exhorting them to work hard. It was truly a great experience of my life to see the appreciation of the staff and children for the support.If this country is going to turn around, it is going to happen with the next generation.
